New update addressing window 7 & 8 crash issue
Hey Steam,
We just pushed out a couple updates for Windows (within the span of ~hour). The first one fixed the crash issue that windows 7 and 8 players were experiencing. It introduced a new issue, though, in the Steam update causing Windows 7 devices to not be able to run the game.
The second update we pushed out fixes this issue specifically with Windows 7 and this latest fix is now live on Steam. If you were experiencing issues, give it a go again now.
